The manager for a growing firm is considering the launch of a new product. If the product goes directly to market, there is a 50 percent chance of success. For $184,000, the manager can conduct a focus group that will increase the product’s chance of success to 65 percent. Alternatively, the manager has the option to pay a consulting firm $399,000 to research the market and refine the product. The consulting firm successfully launches new products 80 percent of the time. If the firm successfully launches the product, the payoff will be $1.99 million. If the product is a failure, the NPV is zero. Calculate the NPV for each option available for the project.

Kroger is in the process of designing a new store to be located in a plaza under development in Mason. They intend to use their Symmes Township store as a model, but they are concerned that the customer base in Mason might have different needs and expectations. One area of concern is in Service Meats. Grocery shoppers in Symmes Township expect a Service Meat counter, and the department has been quite profitable. Kroger would like to know if the expectation of having a Service Meat counter will be the same in Mason as it is in Symmes Township. They survey residents of both areas, and among the questions is, "Do you buy meat from the Service Meat counter on a regular (weekly) basis?" In city a, 505 out of 780 respondents said YES. In city b, 325 out of 620 respondents said YES. Using a = .05, test the claim that the percentage of grocery shoppers who use Service Meats is the same in these two areas of the city.
